In 1976 ERDA now known as DOE funded the design and construction of a 22,000 sq. ft. solar collector system with 700 tons of rock storage and a heat recovery wheel. This system was placed in operation in April of 1978 and has operated and been monitored each drying season since. This paper will cover the operation and required maintenance since its installation.
